Fetal movement

I have a question. I feel like my feltal movement has slowed down a bit and the movement is getting bigger and not so many kicks. How much movement do you feel right now if you are about 28-29 weeks? I have 2 placentas and they are on the anterior, meaning they are right above my belly button. I'm just getting a little paranoid...

One baby is breech and the other is vertex, at least 2 weeks ago...

 

You should be doing your kick count card by now. It counts all movements. I get my 10 count in about 10 minutes.

What is a kick count card?

 

After 28 weeks, they usually have you start counting your kicks. You should get 10 kicks/movements twice a day in less than an hour.
Any movement counts - kicks, twists, movements, etc.

 

Great question...

I'm 25 weeks and I feel like I should be feeling so much more, but there are days where I feel like I haven't felt them much at all. I didn't realize they'll have us start doing kick counts at 28 weeks, wow. That seems so soon, but I get it, TWINS are different!

 

I need to start kick counts as well!

 

I am 29 weeks today and saw the dr yesterday. I wasn't feeling baby b as much as a so he did indeed recommend the 10 count measurements however it's like since I have mentioned it, baby b has been going crazy. I wonder how much they move around when we are sleeping. Someone was telling me that since we move all day pretty much they sleep then cause we are sleeping and staying still overnight, that is when they move around themselves cause we aren't rocking/swaying them.

 

I agree the kick count is a good idea. Different doctors use different parameters especially with twins, so it may be worth mentioning the next time you see him/her. Good Luck!!
